[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1542662, member: 104363"] My opinion: Remington put that slow twist in there considering most bullets were 55gr or less at that time, I would imagine. Now .224 dia bullets are available as longer/ heavier and needs to be stabilized with the faster twist. Just going off load data, most of the longer bullets will specify 1:10 or 1:9 or faster, etc., etc. I have never attempted to shoot past 55 gr, as this gun does what I need with 55gr Sierra HPBT, 3600 fps over Varget. Accurate and devastating on varmints. Ironically, the throat depth on my factory 26" varmint barrel is so long, I could never get a 55 gr. anywhere close to the lands with out falling out, lol.
